A quick and cozy weeknight dinner made with pantry staples and frozen veggies, perfect for busy nights.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 8 oz of your chosen pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon olive oil over medium heat. Add the 2 cloves of minced garlic and stir constantly for about 1 minute, just until the garlic becomes fragrant.
Pour in the 14 oz can of diced tomatoes, juice and all. Stir to combine with the garlic-infused oil. Let this simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
Add the 1 cup of frozen peas or mixed vegetables directly into the skillet. Stir gently, then cover and let the mixture cook for another 3 to 4 minutes.
Add the drained pasta into the skillet with the tomato-vegetable mixture. Gently toss everything together until the pasta is evenly coated in the savory sauce. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
Spoon the pasta into bowls or onto plates. Finish with generous amounts of grated Parmesan cheese and fresh basil, if desired. Serve warm.
